That being said, the stories could've been better. Obviously having five short movies plus the arc surrounding the whole thing doesn't give you much time but all the stories are way too short, way too quick and nothing is ever explained enough. Every story left me wondering what the hell just happened.
Some were better then others. The first wasn't bad and was a good one to start off. The second was boring. The third was interesting enough that i would've liked to see it as a full length movie. The fourth was weird and didn't make sense and the fifth was easily the best.
The story of the guys finding the v/h/s tapes ends really abruptly and like the other stories isn't explained enough.
But i enjoyed it. It's just not as great as some people are making it out to be. I can see some people liking it, other's hating it but no one loving it.

Actually I did love it, I enjoyed it way better than the slow paced Paranormal Activity movies, only The Blair Witch Project tops this one for me.
